Philly Again

So today we traveled to Philadelphia again. It wasn't a very early start. Our flight out was at 8:55 AM. That is our flight was at 8:55 but was canceled, and so we had to catch the next one at 9:55. That gave us a 5 minute layover in Chicago. Fortunately, the gate attendants were helpful, and the two planes were literally next to each other.

We got a hold of the Ronald McDonald house while we were in Chicago. They had a room for us, so we're able to save a bunch of money there (over the cost of a hotel in down-town Philly).

Not to be undone, Seymour (our weirdo cactus thing) had to put in his efforts too. He decided to bloom for a second time this summer. Two blooms were open this morning, with a third that had just closed, or will open tonight. There's still two more that haven't opened yet. That makes a total of 7 flowers this year. I think you can tell from the picture the blooms are pretty incredible. They only open, one night each, so Seymour puts a lot of work into each one.

Well we have our examination with the eye surgeon tomorrow. Wish us luck!
